Can you imagine what the AOL users search image logs would be like?I'm not sure I want to see what an AOL user thinks a horse f**king a small child looks like.
sure, but think of the potential when it is working well.Considering the lacking in meta data for images and video, this could become a great enhancement to google's image and video searches.Also, imagine, posting an image with a photo and finding other pictures/videos with that person.
Riya actually does quite well with face rec. The technology works best by contextually recognizing "situational factors" like shirt colors, background colors and lighting. It works surprisingly well if you spend some time training the engine and providing hi-res samples.It fails at webwide search since the quality of web graphics are usually too low to be recognized consistently.Munjal, CEO of Riya, commented on this purchase as well as how Riya works.
